LAHORE – A sessions court in Lahore has extended the interim bail of Aroob Jatoi, wife of renowned YouTuber Saad-ur-Rehman, popularly known as Ducky Bhai, until November 6, 2025, in a case involving the alleged promotion of illegal online gambling applications.
The hearing took place at the Lahore Sessions Court, presided over by Additional District and Sessions Judge Dr. Sajida Ahmed. During the proceedings, Aroob Jatoi appeared in person before the court. The judge instructed the plaintiff to ensure that a lawyer is present at the next hearing and extended the interim bail until the specified date. The court later adjourned the case for further proceedings.
The case against Aroob Jatoi and several other influencers is part of a broader crackdown by Pakistani authorities on digital platforms accused of promoting banned gambling and betting apps. Law enforcement agencies have increased scrutiny on online content creators suspected of endorsing or profiting from such illegal activities.
Earlier, a sessions court dismissed the bail plea of Ducky Bhai in a similar case linked to the promotion of illegal gambling applications. During that hearing, prosecutors argued that the YouTuber had acted as a brand ambassador for a banned online betting app, which caused financial harm to numerous users.
Authorities also claimed to have found evidence suggesting money laundering linked to the promotion of the gambling app. However, Ducky Bhai’s legal team denied the allegations, asserting that there was no concrete evidence, complainant, or eyewitness testimony to support the charges. They also contended that certain sections of Pakistan’s Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) were misapplied in the case.
